iTextLayout
A reference of type ATSUTextLayout. Pass a reference to a text layout object whose attributes you want to remove. You cannot pass NULL for this parameter.

iTagCount
The number of attribute values you want to remove. To remove all previously set attributes, pass the constant kATSUClearAll in this parameter. In this case, the value in the iTag parameter will be ignored.

iTag
An array of values of type ATSUAttributeTag. Each element in the array must contain a valid tag that corresponds to the text layout attribute value you want to remove. See Text Layout Attribute Tag Constants for a description of the Apple-defined text layout attribute tag constants. If you pass a style run attribute tag constant or an ATSUI-reserved tag in this parameter, ATSUClearLayoutControls returns the result code kATSUInvalidAttributeTagErr.

function result
A result code. See Result Codes. You can remove unset attribute values from a text layout object without a function error.
DISCUSSION
The ATSUClearLayoutControls function removes those previously set text layout attribute values that are identified by tag constants in the iTag array. It replaces them with the default text layout attribute values described in Table C-2.

If you wish to remove all previously set text layout attribute values from a text layout object, pass kATSUClearAll in the iTagCount parameter. If you wish to remove the previously set text layout attributes in a line of text, call the function ATSUClearLineControls.
